Sony Pictures Beefs Up VR Slate, By Chris Tribbey

Sony Pictures Sept. 20 announced a bigger push in the virtual reality space, announcing a partnership with VR and augmented reality company Reality One to produce VR content based on Sony’s films and franchises.

Sony Pictures’ virtual reality group will produce narrative VR experiences with Reality One, which earlier this year co-produced Gnomes and Goblins, an original VR production for filmmaker Jon Favreau. Sony expects to begin distributing the new VR content before the end of 2016.
